We expect the team to return to Atlanta sometime late Tuesday afternoon and the celebration will start Tuesday at approximately 5:30 p.m. The doors to the Coliseum will open at 4 p.m. and Monday’s championship game will be replayed in its entirety on the big screens without commercial interruption, as a warm-up to the event. Tuesday’s celebration will feature Wes Durham as MC and the entire men’s basketball team, the Pep Band and cheerleaders.
